Markers for group members

Idea, help, and testing by raptormama

For those who like to quest in a group or for the masochists doing overworld raids and wanting to see every single one of their groupmates displayed as a marker on the compass, we now introduce the brand-new Group Markers feature.

Heading

You can change several options on the Group tab in the addon's settings. Primarily, you can decide whether you want to use this feature only in Party or also in Raid (it might get a bit cluttered, so it's off by default), and you can modify the markers.

Heading

There's also a whole section dedicated to group members' names on Texts tab in the Group settings. Only the Party section is shown below, but there's also one for Raids.

Heading

We (both raptormama and I) hope you like it and that there are as few errors as possible.

Dynamic Pointer Textures

Idea, help, and testing by sampconrad

First of all, the number of pointers has increased. This should somehow accommodate new quest types in the The War Within expansion.

On the Pointers tab, the settings are now split into two tabs.

The previous options are now moved into a Texts tab. The new Textures tab now includes settings for more options regarding pointer textures. The Copy... functionality will copy only settings from that particular tab.

PointersTextures

Options are split into two subsections: Progress pointer, which will be used when a quest is not finished yet, and Turn-in pointer, which will be used when a quest is ready for turn-in (dah!).

Besides the obvious ones, the settings include these two options:

  • Edge Detection - Previously, the arrows were flipped when on the top side of the compass and, when Pointers stays on HUD was checked, they rotated when on the edge of the Compass. Now, for some textures, that may look ridiculous, so you have an option to disable that behavior.
  • Custom Atlas ID - If you don't like any of the available Texture pointers, you can enter an atlasID to use instead. WoW currently doesn't supply the list of these, but you can use, for example, the integrated Texture picker in WeakAuras (use Blizzard Atlas option) or TextureAtlasViewer.

There are also two Presets accessible by clicking that line on top of the pointers list.

PointersTextures

The Modern one should closely follow the The War Within new look.
